Melrose, MA, Fire Department Now Providing Ambulance Service

The Melrose, MA, Fire Department recently took over the responsibility of providing ambulance service for nonlife-threatening emergencies in the city.

The department had previously provided ambulance service, but, as a cost-saving measure, it stopped doing so in 1989. Now, the City anticipates that the service will help provide revenue to meet the fire department’s budget needs.
